Command-line aux files issue - was Dependent Draft Job Failing

Deprecated Deadline 8 Bug Reports
#1

Hi,

I submitted a job from Maya which ran fine; the QuickTime I asked for using the Pipeline Tools interface failed, I have attached a Task Error Log.

I spotted an extra period in the in-file syntax : masterLayer…####.exr

Please let me know if this is reproducible for you?

Thanks!

#2

That extra period is the culprit as I exported the jobInfo and pluginInfo files to manually submit them.

I find a nuisance bug in the process - the auxiliary files must have an absolute path :

Take one:

G:\temp>"C:\Program Files\Thinkbox\Deadline8\bin\deadlinecommand.exe" 58769594fb4a9718f8c36a55_jobInfo.job 58769594fb4a9718f8c36a55_pluginInfo.job 58769594fb4a9718f8c36a55_auxiliaryinfo\Draft_CreateS hotgunMovie.py Deadline Command 8.1 [v8.1.5.5 Release (854a616b6)] Error: could not find Auxiliary submission file: 58769594fb4a9718f8c36a55_auxiliaryinfo\Draft_CreateShotgunMovie.py (Deadline.Submission.DeadlineSubmissionException)

Take two:

[code]
G:\temp>“C:\Program Files\Thinkbox\Deadline8\bin\deadlinecommand.exe” 58769594fb4a9718f8c36a55_jobInfo.job 58769594fb4a9718f8c36a55_pluginInfo.job G:\temp\58769594fb4a9718f8c36a55_auxiliaryinfo\Draft
_CreateShotgunMovie.py
Deadline Command 8.1 [v8.1.5.5 Release (854a616b6)]

Submitting to Repository: \unicron\deadline8

Submission Contains the Following Auxiliary Files:

  1. G:\temp\58769594fb4a9718f8c36a55_auxiliaryinfo\Draft_CreateShotgunMovie.py

Result=Success
JobID=5876a801272d6b34a0096851

The job was submitted successfully.[/code]

Hi,

My Maya Render Globals had a problem leading to this issue so the dependent job failing is solved.

The absolute path to the auxiliary files is a minor issue that does exist.

Thanks.

#4

Gotcha – yeah, the relative paths not working is a known issue, largely due to Deadline currently changing the working directory on the fly. We’d love to remove the need for this in a future version, which should fix relative paths for this kind of usage.

Cheers,
